Paradise



This is my little cliff home on the Li River in Gualin. It used to be a temple, but it was abandoned once it was discovered it was haunted. That keeps the villagers away. I'm about 120 miles from anyone, and I get a lot of fishing and painting done. See my patio there? That's where I come out to draw paint the sunset. Every morning a mist covers that valley, and the thin mountain collumns look like the'yre rising out of nowhere. You can hike to the top and see for miles. Weather's pretty moderate with a weekly thunderstorm to keep things exciting, and in the winter a little snow falls. That's when I hike to the natural hot springs for a soak.

Who keeps me company? Monkeys.
